IMDb mark: 4
It's hard to figure out this film. Is it a comedy? Do we detect some 'Animal House'-like scenes? Is it a drama? About life in Quebec (and Vermont, sort of) at the beginning of the '70s? Is it a nude-fest? Well, it is a nude-fest, but it's not an erotic movie. All these 'symptoms' make it hard to categorize this film, so I will just file it under adventure, sort of a miscellaneous for movies.
-Plot: A French tutor has problems with his car, and a group of hippies help him out. But he grows to like the uninhibited lifestyle that they lead, and agrees to help out one of the hippies by switching places with him. 17/25
-Cast: I think only Celine Lomez had some actual fans at that time, and she doesn't even appear for that long. Yes, the cast is almost unknown. 2/17
-Ending: The ending is much too sudden. Couldn't they have done it any other way? 3/15
-Comedy: I guess there are times when you can laugh, during this movie. But very few, so, if you are looking for comedy, this isn't one of the best choices. 3/14
-Acting: It's not extremely good, but the actors don't seem out of place, either. However, if you are watching 'Loving and Laughing', you're not looking for Oscar material anyway. 5/11
-Shock Value: There are no major shockers. Not even the scene with the limo, towards the end. I expected better from that scene, I have to admit. 1/8
-Nudity: Every actress, who is slightly attractive, removes part of her clothes at some point. So, I didn't even bother to keep track of who gets naked. There is, though, a really big gap between a whole lot of nudity in the beginning and a lot of nudity at the end. 6/6
-Genre: This is an adventure film. 2/4
-->Overall: 39/100
If you consider this a nudie flick, and only want to see some '70s goodies, then it may seem better to you. I felt this was made as an adventure film, so... From Swordlord, 1 sword down!
